value , that is the total duration of
the washing and drying cycles (washing +
drying + anti-crease + cooling phases).
If you set only 10 minutes of
drying after washing, the
appliance calculates also the
duration of the anti-crease
and the cooling phases.

In the display the indicator
comes on.
The door is locked. The display shows
regularly a new time value.
12.4 End of the programme

acoustic signals operate (if they are
active).
For more information see 'At the end of
the drying programme " of the previous
chapter.
1. Remove the laundry from the
appliance.
Make sure that the drum is empty.
2. Keep the door ajar, to prevent mildew
and odours.
12.5 Fluff in the fabrics
During the washing and/or drying phase,
some types of fabric, (sponge, wool,
sweatshirt) could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics
during the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical
fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we
recommend that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light coloured fabrics
(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt ) and
the contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air
when they are washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the empty
drum, the gasket and the door with a
wet cloth.
12.6 How to remove the fluff in
the garments
To remove the fluff inside the drum, set a
special programme:
1. Empty the drum.
2. Clean the drum, the gasket and the
door with a wet cloth.
3. Set the rinse programme.
4. Press at the same time Delay Start
and Drying Level to activate the
cleaning function until the display
shows CLE.
5. Press
to start the programme.
13. HINTS AND TIPS
13.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are
on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and
coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted
illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance laundry
without hems or with cuts. Use a
washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras,
belts, tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase again.
